PPPoE/PPPoA

Selecting this option in the WAN Settings will change your screen to look like the one seen below.

PPPor Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a network connection/session between networked devices. Different forms of PPP include PPPoA and PPPoE, and they involve an authentication process that requires a username and password to gain access to the network. PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), as described in RFC 2516, is a method of using PPP through the Ethernet network. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) configuration is over ATM and requires the same basic information as the previously discussed PPPoE. Both configuration menus are identical.

To configure the connection for PPPoE/PPPoA, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose.
